Hello John,
Did you see Policy Director Brian Stettin's op-ed yesterday in the New York Daily News? In it, he offers New York City's new mayor, Eric Adams, a roadmap for a new era of refusing to accept the inevitability of untreated severe mental illness in New York City.
"There is good reason to wonder whether Kendra’s Law is being utilized as frequently as it should be, but we must also recognize the limits of what can be accomplished through this one program. A top-to-bottom re-think of the entire mental health system’s priorities is overdue," Stettin writes.
Yesterday afternoon, Mayor Adams personally reached out to Stettin to praise the piece and pledge his Administration's support for the proposed reforms. We are excited to work with the Mayor's team to make it happen!
